Help with my silkie, please.

[SadariEvenstar]

Yes.

 

[FluffySilkie]

Yes.

Ok It definitely looks and sounds like fowl pox so I would recommend to read up on treatments: https://the-chicken-chick.com/fowl-pox-prevention-treatmen/

Thank you so much.

Upstate new york. Its been cold and wet. I have no other birds that look like this, but I have been treating a wobbly chicken in my garage for a week or two.

This is the first I've noticed it. My husband has been doing the chicken chores since its been nasty outside and I have a bad knee. He's not as observant as I am.

No, they have been healthy, I have them in a brooder in the house. It's been too cold for mosquitoes. But, I have kids and it wouldn't be unheard of for them to have snuck in to visit and not been as careful as I am with trying to avoid transferring things.

How old is she?
What does the inside of her beak look like?

Have you looked for lice/mites as well?

Once you have dried her (use a hair dryer) get some more photos please.

I agree, it looks like it could be Fowl Pox.

She is 5.5 months old. Hatched July 13, I think. That's the best I could get of her mouth, she was not happy with me. The last is just a random patch of skin. I don't see any evidence of creepy crawlies. Normal poops.

Poor girl looks more on the side of dry fowl pox, than wet fowl pox so that is better...

 

[SadariEvenstar]

She is at least enjoying all the attention, she's always been the most people friendly of our silkies.

What are you feeding?
Is the inside of her ears crusty too?
I see crust under her beak on both sides.
For me, I would be inclined to pain those areas with Iodine to see if that helps.

How is she?
